Oh I meant to ask what kind of Fiber do you take? Since I can't go I've been taking dulcalax daily and I don't know if at some point it will have a negative effect on my body, so Fiber seems like a safer option

This is what I take daily to be regulated.

Successes: More active & smile more

Areas to work on: Eating out & limiting carbs

Currently, 10 pounds from my goal weight.

Hi Positive, you are right it does not seem like 10 months man has time flown....glad to see that you are doing well...things that I need to work on: omitting my 1 piece of candy a day and exercising consistently. I am about 50 pounds from goal and it's taking forever to get there. The weight is definitely coming off really slow.

Hi 2/9ers how's everyone? Our group is so quiet these days so today I finally admitted that I think I'm bigger than I really am, anyone else struggling with this. I was shopping and once again I picked up the bigger size, my spouse just laughs. But I also had a non scale victory, I am in a size 12 woohooo now to some this may not be a big deal to some but I have always been very curvy so I had to purchase jeans in a larger size and who would have thunk that a 12 would get over my butt and thighs

I always think I'm fat and now that I'm eating whatever... if I gain a pound or feel bloated I feel even worse. Then I'll weigh myself the next day and didn't gain at all. Actually it's kinda scary.

Shopping I can pick up a size small shirt in most things and not try it on and it look great on me. Size 6 is safe on the bottom. Some are too big and I need a 4. You would think I would be happy with that, but I'm not. I think my stomach is fat most days, but it's mostly just bloated because I don't poop everyday like I should.

Bottom line I have psychological issues that should have been addressed during the process of surgery and losing weight so fast. The weight left so fast my mind didn't adjust along with it.

Happy Sunday 2/9 Sleevers!!!! Starting to have a tad bit of anxiety with only 2 days before surgery. Anyone else??

i just had my surgery Friday. They gave me a drink for the endo. To watch the drink go through to the stomach for leaks. That stuff gave me explosive diarrhea. But it's a lot better now. Anxiety is normal..you will be fine!!!!

Positive it's good to have someone (or a group) to share this with. We all struggle in some way and with support I think it will get better with time. I definitely understand the body dysmorphia thing and have just decided that it comes with the territory. Congrats on the size 4/6 that's a huge achievement, try not to be so hard on yourself

Hello everyone! Just checking in. I haven't been able to work out for at least 2 months because I had foot surgery and I'm really struggling with my Fluid and Protein. And I hate the Constipation. But I'm taking it day by day!

I've lost 129 lbs so far with another 26 to go but I feel so much better. I'm down from a 24 jeans to a 10/12! And this week, my family took Christmas card pics for the first time ever! Praise God for this new life.

Hope you're all doing great. Check in!

Jenn sorry to hear about your foot, hope you get better soon. Congrats on the loss, you're doing amazing. Have you tried diurelex? I take 1 just about every day for relief, my scale had been stuck for a bit but finally is moving slightly I still have about 50 to go meh. Seems so far away but I know I will get there.

You're picture looks great, keep it up only 26 to go
